The more recent NHC advisories are showing Dorian getting to NC and taking a bit longer (maybe 6 hours) to get past the bulk of the NC coast. It's also looking likely on at least a few models that the eye will either make landfall around Wilmington or the Outer Banks, which would expose those areas to 100+ mph winds.
We were supposed to move into our house tomorrow in Shallotte from out of state. As it is, we are now leaving Chicago on Friday and our truck will arrive on Monday (pending any issues). Having never experienced a hurricane (only tornadoes), I'm hoping our windows and roof are still intact when we get there Saturday! I hope you all stay safe over the next few days!
where would be the safest place to be in a hurricane??? In a bathroom in the middle of the house with no windows or under the house in the crawl space???

KINSTON– The North Carolina Global TransPark will serve as a base of operations for emergency rescue and response from Hurricane Dorian.
Emergency response personnel, crews, vehicles and other equipment from across North Carolina and the U.S. are assembling at the Global TransPark in Kinston. The TransPark boasts one of the area's longest runways and is strategically located near interstate and connector highways, which has served it well as a staging area for emergency response in previous natural disasters.
Teams from North Carolina Emergency Management, Federal Emergency Management Agency, the National Guard, and other federal, state and local agencies are on hand and ready to respond to emergency requests for help.
In addition to housing emergency response crews, the Global TransPark will store emergency supplies, including rescue boats and aircraft, ready-to-eat meals as well as medical supplies.
The Global TransPark also served as an incident command post for emergency response operations during Hurricane Matthew in 2016 and Hurricane Florence in 2018.
Hey Everybody, post anything here that has something to do with Hurricane Dorian and Eastern Carolina.
I have read that Dorian should be tracking very, very similar to Matthew.
Matthew hugged the coastline. Dorian should remain offshore until it approaches the Outer Banks...if the current track holds.
